Mobile games become more prevalent with every new generation of smartphones. Back in 2005, there used to be mobile games that could run on the Java OS. Since then each year there is new technology and hardware launched in the mobile phone industry. While a particular domain which has seen steady growth is the mobile gaming industry. Currently, there are games which can make sure to use every bit of power that a phone’s chipset could provide. Unlike PC gamers, many mobile gamers don’t stick to one game or one genre and well there are many reasons for this.
Recently, Ampere Analysis gave us a nice hint of mobile gamers preferences. Surprisingly to some, the data shows a wide variety in game choice and selection. Interestingly, there is no overlap in genre selection across many categories.
What did Ampere Analytics realize in their report ON Mobile Gamers?
Recently Ampere Analytics conducted a Survey on various mobile gamers who had played Call Of Duty in the last 3 months. Following that they also made a list of other games which they played at that time. This survey was conducted across six Western markets in the world.
While the results of the survey would be quite shocking to most PC/Console gamers, they are utterly unsurprising for the mobile gamers crew.
The proportion of Western Call of Duty: Mobile gamers who played other titles in the last 3 months:
- Call of Duty: Warzone: 52%
- Fortnite: 45%
- Grand Theft Auto V: 42%
- Minecraft: 38%
- EA FIFA: 37%
- Candy Crush Saga: 34%
- Clash of Clans: 27%
- Among US: 25%
- Apex Legends: 20%
It’s quite clearly seen that the genres of the other games on the list vary drastically between one another. With such a difference it does show quite a different tendency when compared to other domains. Many times while someone is a gamer who enjoys first-person shooters on PC, they tend to play that genre a lot. While trying out various other games in the same domain. While also there can be a shift to maybe a Battle Royal or a third-person shooter. They would prefer to stick to genres which consist of various kinds of shooters with either a story-intense game or gameplay intense one. While making a shift to online play to either play with their other friends who enjoy the game genre of gaming. But mobile gamers are much different than that and one major reason is accessibility to play the games.
